"A YMCA program in Stockton is aiming to keep teens out of trouble when they aren't in school.The program is called Back2BAC and it stands for believing and changing.Back2BAC gives the teenagers a chance to show off their talent.\"I think it\u2019s good to stay out of trouble, and if you have a dream, to go for it,\" said participant Robert Herrera. Herrera recorded a rap song in the recording studio at the Teen Activity Center in Stockton.\u201CThese camps are more positive than to be at home or (the) streets where there is a one in 70 chance to be a victim of violent crime,\" said former music director, Rudy Buenrosto.Teens get a chance to master skills in dance and art, or even learn skills such as photography or video.\"I started photography and video at YMCA and have done a few videos already. I owe it to the YMCA camp that I got into photography,\" said student Jose Cuevas.The Youth Director at YMCA said the teens get to choose the kind of activities in which they participate.\u201CThere is nothing like it when a teenager says 'thank you' for knowing they could do it.\u00A0 If you give a teen a voice, they'll sing,\u201D youth director Charity Bryant said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
